According to Reuters, U.S. President Donald Trump is still looking at a possible declaration of a national emergency in order to move around Congress and build a wall along the southern border with Mexico. In an interview, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said that "Such a declaration is “certainly still an option, something that’s on the table. That’s something that we are looking at." She added that the White House remained hopeful it could find a solution to the wall funding and the government shutdown with Congress.
